7. Tough Love(?)
One thing that Paige called Charlotte out on was being the Dirtiest Player in the Game, just like her father. While a faked injury leading to a pinfall doesnt really scream diabolical, it still is notable that Charlotte resorted to faking an injured ankle, drawing her father on the ring apron and distracting Becky Lynch so she could get rolled up in the confusion. It was the very thing Paige had been warning Becky about, and it fit perfectly with Charlottes fathers persona. Charlotte insisting that she did it to help Becky Lynch out in an effort to help her see the bigger picture only helped with the feeling of patronization. It will be interesting to see which way things go next. Will Charlotte turn on Becky? Will Becky grow too suspicious and side with Paige, leaving Charlotte alone?
